Has anyone attended the University of Phoenix? If so, do u know the approximate cost? Is it a good school????

Question

I am going to view the campus and get the details of the school. I need to continue on to get my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration.

Answer 1

Everything I have heard about U of P has been bad. They are not very well respected and a degree awarded by them is not considered on par with degrees from other schools. I have even heard that many employers will not consider a prospective employee w/ a degree from U of P  

Answer 2

It is a For Profit corporation that accepts nearly anyone.  Employers do not respect degrees from the school.  Many refuse to hire its graduates.  Companies like Intel have changed their tuition reimbursement program so that their employees do not get reimbursed for taking classes there.  They said it was because their classes lack rigor.

The U of P was recently fined a record $9.8 Million for sleazy recruiting practices.

It costs more than reputable public universities.  On average, its graduates make about $20K per year less than graduates from non-profit schools.

You should avoid it at all costs.

Answer 3

known not to be a good school.
